Configuration: E,Z
To Assign an E,Z configuration, first assign a priority
to the substituents on each carbon of the double
bond.
If the groups of higher priority are on the same side of the
double bond, the configuration is Z (German: zusammen,
together).
If the groups of higher priority are on opposite sides of the
double bond, the configuration is E (German: entgegen,
opposite).

Configuration: E,Z
Priority rules
1. Priority is based on atomic number; the higher the atomic number, the
higher the priority.

Configuration - E,Z
3. Atoms participating in a double or triple bond are
considered to be bonded to an equivalent
number of similar atoms by single bonds.

Cis-Trans Isomerism
The configuration of the double bond in
cyclopropene through cycloheptene must be cis.
These rings are not large enough to
accommodate a trans double bond.
Cyclooctene is the smallest cycloalkene that can
accommodate a trans double bond.

Cis-Trans Isomerism
Dienes, trienes, and polyenes
For an alkene with n carbon-carbon double bonds, each
of which can show cis-trans isomerism, 2n cis-trans
isomers are possible.
Consider 2,4-heptadiene; it has four cis-trans isomers,
two of which are drawn here.

Cis-Trans Isomerism
Vitamin A has five C-C double bonds.
Four of the five can show cis-trans isomerism.
Vitamin A is the all-trans isomer.
